Abstract
Background Obese patients frequently develop pulmonary atelectasis upon general anesthesia. The risk is increased during laparoscopic surgery. This prospective, observational single-center study evaluated atelectasis dynamics using Electric Impedance Tomography (EIT) in patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery. Methods We included adult patients with ASA physical status I-IV and a BMI of ≥40. Exclusion criteria were known severe pulmonary hypertension, home oxygen therapy, heart failure, and recent pulmonary infections. The primary outcome was the proportion of poorly ventilated lung regions (low tidal variation areas) and the global inhomogeneity (GI) index assessed by EIT before discharge from the Post Anesthesia Care Unit compared to these same measures prior to initiation of anesthesia. Results The median (IQR) proportion of low tidal variation areas at the different analysis points were T1 10.8% [3.6-15.1%] and T5 10.3% [2.6-18.9%], and the mean difference was -0.7% (95% CI: -5.8% -4.5%), i.e., lower than the predefined non-inferiority margin of 5% (p = 0.022). There were no changes at the four additional time points compared to T1 or postoperative pulmonary complications during the 14 days following the procedure. Conclusion We found that obese patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery do not leave the Post Anesthesia Care Unit with increased low tidal variation areas compared to the preoperative period.

Abstract
Acute aortic dissection (AAD) is a severe cardiovascular disease characterized by rapid progress and a high mortality rate. The incidence of acute aortic dissection is approximately 5 to 30 per 1 million people worldwide. In clinical practice, about 35% of AAD patients are complicated with acute lung injury (ALI). AAD complicated with ALI can seriously affect patients' prognosis and even increase mortality. However, the pathogenesis of AAD combined with ALI remains largely unknown. Given the public health burden of AAD combined with ALI, we reviewed the anesthetic management advances and highlighted potential areas for clinical practice.

Abstract
Atelectasis and inadequate oxygenation in lung donors is a common problem during the retrieval of these organs. Nevertheless, the use of high positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is not habitual during procedures of lung retrieval. Twenty-one Sprague-Dawley male consanguineous rats were used in the study. The animals were divided into 3 groups according to the level of PEEP used: low (2 cmH2O), moderate (5 cmH2O), and high (10 cmH2O). Animals were ventilated with a tidal volume of 6 mL/kg. Before lung removal, the lungs were inspected for the presence of atelectasis. When atelectasis was detected, alveolar recruitment maneuvers were performed. Blood gasometric analysis was performed immediately. Finally, the lungs were retrieved, weighed, and submitted to histological analysis. The animals submitted to higher PEEP showed higher levels of oxygenation with the same tidal volumes PO2=262.14 (PEEP 2), 382.4 (PEEP 5), and 477.0 (PEEP 10). The occurrence of atelectasis was rare in animals with a PEEP of 10 cmH2O, which therefore required less frequent recruitment maneuvers (need for recruitment: PEEP 2=100%, PEEP 5 =100%, and PEEP 10=14.3%). There was no change in hemodynamic stability, occurrence of pulmonary edema, or other histological injuries with the use of high PEEP. The use of high PEEP (10 cmH2O) was feasible and probably a beneficial strategy for the prevention of atelectasis and the optimization of oxygenation during lung retrieval. Clinical studies should be performed to confirm this hypothesis.

Abstract
Perioperative lung injury is a major source of postoperative morbidity, excess healthcare use, and avoidable mortality. Many potential inciting factors can lead to this condition, including intraoperative ventilator induced lung injury. Questions exist as to whether protective ventilation strategies used in the intensive care unit for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome are equally beneficial for surgical patients, most of whom do not present with any pre-existing lung pathology. Studied both individually and in combination as a package of intraoperative lung protective ventilation, the use of low tidal volumes, moderate positive end expiratory pressure, and recruitment maneuvers have been shown to improve oxygenation and pulmonary physiology and to reduce postoperative pulmonary complications in at risk patient groups. Further work is needed to define the potential contributions of alternative ventilator strategies, limiting excessive intraoperative oxygen supplementation, use of non-invasive techniques in the postoperative period, and personalized mechanical ventilation. Although the weight of evidence strongly suggests a role for lung protective ventilation in moderate risk patient groups, definitive evidence of its benefit for the general surgical population does not exist. However, given the shift in understanding of what is needed for adequate oxygenation and ventilation under anesthesia, the largely historical arguments against the use of intraoperative lung protective ventilation may soon be outdated, on the basis of its expanding track record of safety and efficacy in multiple settings.

Abstract
World Health Organization and the United States Center for Disease Control have recently recommended the use of 0.8 FIO2 in all adult surgical patients undergoing general anaesthesia, to prevent surgical site infections. This recommendation has arisen several discussions: As a matter of fact, there are numerous studies with different results about the effect of FIO2 on surgical site infection. Moreover, the clinical effects of FIO2 are not limited to infection control. We asked some prominent authors about their comments regarding the recent recommendations.

Abstract
Context This article discusses the anesthetic considerations in patients undergoing bariatric surgery in the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative phases of surgery. Evidence Acquisition This review includes studies involving obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery. Searches have been conducted in PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Review using the terms obese, obesity, bariatric, anesthesia, perioperative, preoperative, perioperative, postoperative, and their combinations. Results Obesity is a major worldwide health problem associated with many comorbidities. Bariatric surgery has been proposed as the best alternative treatment for extreme obese patients when all other therapeutic options have failed. Conclusions Anesthetists must completely assess the patients before the surgery to identify anesthesia- related potential risk factors and prepare for management during the surgery.

Effect of low inspired oxygen fraction on respiratory indices in mechanically ventilated horses anaesthetised with isoflurane and medetomidine constant rate infusion. Vet J 2016; 211:70-4.

Abstract
Horses may become hypoxaemic during anaesthesia despite a high inspired oxygen fraction (FiO2). A lower FiO2 is used commonly in human beings to minimise atelectasis and to improve lung function, and previously has been shown to be of potential benefit in horses in experimental conditions. Other studies suggest no benefit to using a FiO2 of 0.5 during clinically relevant conditions; however, low FiO2 (0.65) is commonly used in practice and in a large number of studies. The present study was performed to compare the effect of a commonly used FiO2 of 0.65 versus 0.90 on calculated respiratory indices in anaesthetised mechanically ventilated horses in a clinical setting. Eighteen healthy Thoroughbred horses anaesthetised for experimental laryngeal surgery were recruited into a prospective, non-blinded, randomised clinical study. Before anaesthesia, the horses were randomly allocated into either low (0.65) or high (0.90) FiO2 groups and arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis was performed every 30 min during anaesthesia to allow for statistical analysis of respiratory indices. As expected, PaO2 was significantly lower in horses anaesthetised with a low FiO2, but was sufficient to fully saturate haemoglobin. There were no significant improvements in any of the other respiratory indices. There is no obvious benefit to be gained from the use of a FiO2 of 0.65 compared to 0.90 for mechanically ventilated Thoroughbred horses anaesthetised in lateral recumbency with isoflurane and a medetomidine constant rate infusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypoxemia during one-lung ventilation (OLV) remains a major concern. The present study compared the effect of alveolar recruitment strategy (ARS) on arterial oxygenation during OLV at varying tidal volumes (Vt) with or without positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). METHODS In total, 120 patients undergoing wedge resection by video assisted thoracostomy were randomized into four groups comprising 30 patients each: those administered a 10 ml/kg tidal volume with or without preemptive ARS (Group H and Group H-ARS, respectively) and those administered a 6 ml/kg tidal volume and a 8 cmH2O PEEP with or without preemptive ARS (Group L and Group L-ARS, respectively). ARS was performed using pressure-controlled ventilation with a 40 cmH2O plateau airway pressure and a 15 cmH2O PEEP for at least 10 breaths until OLV began. RESULTS Preemptive ARS significantly improved the PaO2/FiO2 ratio compared to the groups that did not receive ARS (P < 0.05). The H-ARS group showed a highest PaO2/FiO2 ratio during OLV, the L-ARS and H groups showed similarly improved arterial oxygenation, which was significantly higher than in group L (P < 0.05). The plateau airway pressure in group H-ARS was significantly higher than in group L-ARS (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Preemptive ARS can improve arterial oxygenation during OLV. Furthermore, a 6 ml/kg tidal volume combined with 8 cmH2O PEEP after preemptive ARS may reduce the risk of pulmonary injury caused by high tidal volume during one-lung ventilation in patients with normal pulmonary function.

Abstract
Anaesthesia causes a respiratory impairment, whether the patient is breathing spontaneously or is ventilated mechanically. This impairment impedes the matching of alveolar ventilation and perfusion and thus the oxygenation of arterial blood. A triggering factor is loss of muscle tone that causes a fall in the resting lung volume, functional residual capacity. This fall promotes airway closure and gas adsorption, leading eventually to alveolar collapse, that is, atelectasis. The higher the oxygen concentration, the faster will the gas be adsorbed and the aleveoli collapse. Preoxygenation is a major cause of atelectasis and continuing use of high oxygen concentration maintains or increases the lung collapse, that typically is 10% or more of the lung tissue. It can exceed 25% to 40%. Perfusion of the atelectasis causes shunt and cyclic airway closure causes regions with low ventilation/perfusion ratios, that add to impaired oxygenation. Ventilation with positive end-expiratory pressure reduces the atelectasis but oxygenation need not improve, because of shift of blood flow down the lung to any remaining atelectatic tissue. Inflation of the lung to an airway pressure of 40 cmH2O recruits almost all collapsed lung and the lung remains open if ventilation is with moderate oxygen concentration (< 40%) but recollapses within a few minutes if ventilation is with 100% oxygen. Severe obesity increases the lung collapse and obstructive lung disease and one-lung anesthesia increase the mismatch of ventilation and perfusion. CO2 pneumoperitoneum increases atelectasis formation but not shunt, likely explained by enhanced hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction by CO2. Atelectasis may persist in the postoperative period and contribute to pneumonia.

Abstract
General anesthesia and surgery are associated with changes in the shape of the chest that result in atelectasis, a major factor in the development of postoperative respiratory failure. Postoperative noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) has been shown to improve oxygenation and ventilation for high-risk patients. NIPPV has been used as rescue therapy for patients developing acute respiratory distress postoperatively, and appears to be most frequently successful in patients whose problem is atelectasis or obesity. Failure to respond to NIPPV after 20 minutes is usually an indication of intubation, mechanical ventilation, and transfer to the intensive care unit.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The volume-dependent single compartment model (VDSCM) has been applied for identification of overdistension in mechanically ventilated patients with acute lung injury. In this observational study we evaluated the use of the VDSCM to identify tidal recruitment/overdistension induced by tidal volume (Vt) and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in lung-healthy anesthetized subjects. METHODS Fifteen patients (ASA physical status I-II) undergoing general anesthesia for elective plastic breast reconstruction surgery were mechanically ventilated in volume-controlled ventilation (VCV), with Vt of 8 mL•kg(-1) and PEEP of 0 cm H(2)O. With these settings, ventilatory mode was randomly adjusted in VCV or pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) and PEEP was sequentially increased from 0 to 5 and 10 cm H(2)O, 5 min per step. Thereafter, PEEP was decreased to 0 cm H(2)O, Vt increased to 10 mL•kg(-1) and, keeping minute ventilation constant, PEEP was similarly increased to 5 and 10 cm H(2)O. Airway pressure and flow were continuously recorded and fitted to the VDSCM with or without considering flow-dependencies. A "distension index" (%E(2)) derived from the VDSCM was used to assess Vt and PEEP-induced recruitment/overdistension. Positive and negative values of %E(2) suggest tidal overdistension or tidal recruitment, respectively. In addition, the linear respiratory system elastance was calculated. Comparisons among variables at each PEEP value, Vt setting, ventilatory mode, and regression model considering or not considering flow-dependencies were performed with the Wilcoxon-sign rank test for paired samples (P < 0.05). Multiple comparisons were corrected with the Bonferroni method. The relative change in the estimated noisy variance was used as an index of the goodness of fit of the models. RESULTS VDSCM including the flow-dependent parameter significantly improved estimated noisy variance in almost all experimental conditions (11.2 to 71.4, smallest of the lower and highest of the upper 95% confidence intervals). No differences in %E(2) were observed between VCV and PCV, at comparable Vt and PEEP levels, when flow-dependencies were included in the regression model. The negligence of the flow-dependent parameter systematically led to an underestimation of %E(2) in PCV compared to VCV mode (all P < 0.02). At a given Vt, %E(2) was negative at a PEEP of 0 cm H(2)O and significantly increased with PEEP, being almost 0 at a PEEP of 5 cm H(2)O. At a given level of PEEP, %E(2) significantly increased with Vt. CONCLUSIONS The distension index %E(2), derived from the VDSCM considering flow-dependencies, seems able to identify tidal recruitment/overdistension induced by Vt and PEEP independent of flow waveform in healthy lung-anesthetized patients.

Abstract
Atelectasis appears in about 90% of all patients who are anaesthetised. Up to 15-20% of the lung is regularly collapsed at its base during uneventful anaesthesia prior to any surgery being carried out. Atelectasis can persist for several days in the postoperative period. It is likely to be a focus of infection and may contribute to pulmonary complications. A major cause of anaesthesia-induced lung collapse is the use of high oxygen concentration during induction and maintenance of anaesthesia together with the use of anaesthetics that cause loss of muscle tone and fall in functional residual capacity (a common action of almost all anaesthetics). This causes absorption atelectasis behind closed airways. Compression of lung tissue and loss of surfactant or surfactant function are additional potential causes of atelectasis. Ventilation of the lungs with pure oxygen after a vital capacity manoeuvre that had re-opened a previously collapsed lung tissue results in rapid reappearance of atelectasis. If 40% O2 in nitrogen is used for ventilation of the lungs, atelectasis reappears slowly. A post-oxygenation manoeuvre is regularly performed to reduce the risk of hypoxaemia during awakening. However, a combination of oxygenation and airway suctioning will most likely cause new atelectasis. Recruitment at the end of the anaesthesia followed by ventilation with 100% O2 causes new atelectasis before anaesthesia is terminated but not with ventilation with lower fraction of inspired oxygen (FIO2). Thus, recruitment must be followed by ventilation with moderate FIO2.

Abstract
Recruitment maneuvers using deep inflations (DI) have long been used clinically with the objective of recruiting collapsed regions of the lung. Considerable uncertainty continues to exist, however, as to how best to employ recruitment maneuvers or even if they should be used routinely at all for patients receiving mechanical ventilation. Much of this uncertainty may arise from a lack of understanding about the dynamic nature of recruitment and derecruitment. To shed some light on this complex issue, we developed a time-dependent computational model of recruitment and derecruitment in the lung based on a symmetrically bifurcating airway tree in which each branch has a critical closing and opening pressure as well as pressure-dependent opening and closing speeds. Starting from the fully open state, the model underwent regular ventilation for 8 min followed by a series of identical DIs separated by 5 min of identical regular ventilation. We found that the geographical nature and extent of derecruitment before and 5 min after each DI were not always the same, demonstrating that the model exhibits multiple stable states. We conclude that the effectiveness of a recruitment maneuver is not only simply a function of the duration and magnitude of a DI, but may also have an unpredictable component arising from the distributed bi-stable nature of the derecruitment process itself.

A recruitment maneuver increases oxygenation after intubation of hypoxemic intensive care unit patients: a randomized controlled study. CRITICAL CARE : THE OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE CRITICAL CARE FORUM 2010; 14:R76.

Abstract
Introduction Tracheal intubation and anaesthesia promotes lung collapse and hypoxemia. In acute lung injury patients, recruitment maneuvers (RMs) increase lung volume and oxygenation, and decrease atelectasis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of RMs performed immediately after intubation. Methods This randomized controlled study was conducted in two 16-bed medical-surgical intensive care units within the same university hospital. Consecutive patients requiring intubation for acute hypoxemic respiratory failure were included. Patients were randomized to undergo a RM immediately (within 2 minutes) after intubation, consisting of a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) of 40 cmH2O over 30 seconds (RM group), or not (control group). Blood gases were sampled and blood samples taken for culture before, within 2 minutes, 5 minutes, and 30 minutes after intubation. Haemodynamic and respiratory parameters were continuously recorded throughout the study. Positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) was set at 5 cmH2O throughout. Results The control (n = 20) and RM (n = 20) groups were similar in terms of age, disease severity, diagnosis at time of admission, and PaO2 obtained under 10-15 L/min oxygen flow immediately before (81 ± 15 vs 83 ± 35 mmHg, P = 0.9), and within 2 minutes after, intubation under 100% FiO2 (81 ± 15 vs 83 ± 35 mmHg, P = 0.9). Five minutes after intubation, PaO2 obtained under 100% FiO2 was significantly higher in the RM group compared with the control group (93 ± 36 vs 236 ± 117 mmHg, P = 0.008). The difference remained significant at 30 minutes with 110 ± 39 and 180 ± 79 mmHg, respectively, for the control and RM groups. No significant difference in haemodynamic conditions was observed between groups at any time. Following tracheal intubation, 15 patients had positive blood cultures, showing microorganisms shared with tracheal aspirates, with no significant difference in the incidence of culture positivity between groups. Conclusions Recruitment maneuver following intubation in hypoxemic patients improved short-term oxygenation, and was not associated with increased adverse effects. Trial registration NCT01014299

Abstract
Respiratory complications are a significant cause of post-operative morbidity and mortality. Peri-operative atelectasis, in particular, affects 90% of surgical patients and its effects can be prolonged, due to changes in respiratory mechanics, pulmonary circulation and hypoxaemia. Alveolar collapse is caused by certain predisposing factors, mainly by compression and absorption mechanisms. To prevent or treat these atelectasis several therapeutic strategies have been proposed, such as alveolar recruitment manoeuvres, which has become popular in the last few years. Its application in patients with alveolar collapse, but without a previous significant acute lung lesion, has some special features, therefore its use is not free of uncertainties and complications. This review describes the frequency, pathophysiology, importance and treatment of peri-operative atelectasis. Special attention is paid to treatment with recruitment manoeuvres, with the purpose of providing a basis for the their rational and appropriate use.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The recruitment maneuver (RM) in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) can cause hemodynamic derangement. We evaluated circulatory and cardiac changes during RMs. METHODS We performed sustained inflation (SI) with a pressure of 40 cm H(2)O for 30 seconds as an RM on 22 patients with ARDS. Blood pressure (BP) and heart rate were recorded immediately before, every 10 seconds during, and 30 seconds after the RM. Ventricular dimensions were obtained simultaneously using M-mode echocardiography, and tissue Doppler imaging was performed on the left ventricular wall. RESULTS Mean, systolic, and diastolic BP decreased at 20 and 30 seconds during 30-second RMs (mean BP: 92 +/- 12 at baseline to 83 +/- 18 mm Hg at the end of the RM, P < .05) and subsequently recovered. Heart rate decreased at 10 and 20 seconds during the RM, and tended to increase afterward. Both ventricular dimensions decreased significantly during the RM. The left ventricular ejection fraction and peak velocity of the left ventricle during systole remained stable. The fractional changes in mean BP and left ventricular end-diastolic dimension during the RMs were correlated significantly with each other (r(s) = 0.59). Static compliance of the respiratory system (Crs) was lower in patients with mean BP change > or =15% than in patients in whom the change was <15% (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS A transient decrease in mean BP was observed during the RM, and its degree was correlated with the preload decrease, while cardiac contractility was maintained.

Abstract
PURPOSE This review examines the effect of aging on pulmonary reserve. Special emphasis is placed on how anesthetic and surgical factors may impose substantial stresses on the respiratory system of elderly patients, leading to increased risk for postoperative pulmonary complications including respiratory failure. SOURCE A MEDLINE-based English-language literature search was undertaken for the period 1966-2006, and an EMBASE search covered the overlapping period 1988-2006. Selected articles were limited to those applying to elderly subjects/patients. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Age-related loss of the lung static recoil forces, stiffening of the chest wall and diminished alveolar surface area lead to a decrease in vital capacity, an increase in residual volume, decrease in expiratory flows and increased ventilation-perfusion heterogeneity. Respiratory muscle strength consistently declines with age further increasing the work of breathing. While gas exchange may be well preserved at rest and during exertion, pulmonary reserve is diminished, and under conditions of positive fluid balance, positioning for surgery, and increased metabolic demand, postoperative respiratory failure can occur. Increased sensitivity to respiratory depressants and muscle weakness pose additional risks for the development of postoperative respiratory complications in elderly patients. Regional anesthetic techniques provide for superior postoperative analgesia, without necessarily altering the frequency of postoperative pulmonary complications in the older surgical population. CONCLUSION Alterations in respiratory physiology associated with aging must be appreciated to anticipate and minimize potential complications associated with surgery and anesthesia in the elderly. Individualized care to optimize preoperative cardiorespiratory function, minimize intraoperative respiratory pertubations, and to gently restore postoperative pulmonary function are essential anesthetic goals for elderly patients who require surgery.

Abstract
In a randomised, controlled, single-blind trial, we examined the effect of a pre-emptive alveolar recruitment strategy on arterial oxygenation during subsequent pneumoperitoneum. After intubation, 50 patients were randomly allocated to receive either tidal volume 10 ml/kg with no positive end-expiratory pressure (group C) or alveolar recruitment strategy of 10 manual breaths with peak inspiratory pressure of 40 cmH2O plus positive end-expiratory pressure of 15 cmH2O before gas insufflation (group P). During pneumoperitoneum, group P was ventilated with the same setting as group C (FiO2=0.35, tidal volume 10 ml/kg). PaO2 measured during peumoperitoneum was higher in group P than in group C (166∓32 mmHg vs 145∓34 mmHg at 15 minutes, P=0.028, 155∓30 mmHg vs 136∓32 mmHg at 30 minutes, P=0.035). Alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient in group P increased less after gas insufflation (13∓9 to 60∓34 mmHg vs 10∓9 to 37∓31 mmHg, P=0.013). We conclude that the alveolar recruitment strategy we applied before insufflation of the peritoneal cavity may improve oxygenation during laparoscopic hysterectomy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of a change in body position on blood gases and arterial blood pressures in foals anesthetized with guaifenesin, ketamine, and xylazine. STUDY DESIGN Prospective, randomized experimental study. ANIMALS Twelve Quarter Horse foals, age of 5.4 +/-0.9 months and weighing 222 +/- 48 kg. METHODS Foals were anesthetized with guaifenesin, ketamine, and xylazine for 40 minutes in lateral recumbency and then assigned to a change in lateral recumbency after hoisting (Group 1, n = 6), or no change (Group 2, n = 6). Oxygen 15 L minute(-1) was insufflated into the endotracheal tube throughout anesthesia. Arterial blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate (f(R)), inspired fraction of oxygen (FIO(2)), and end-tidal carbon dioxide (PE'CO(2)) were measured every 5 minutes. Arterial pH and blood gases [arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO(2)), arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO(2))] were measured at 10, 30, and 40 minutes after induction, and 5 minutes after hoisting. Alveolar dead space ventilation and PaO(2)/FIO(2) were calculated. Two repeated measures models were used. All hypothesis tests were two-sided and significance level was alpha = 0.05. All values are presented as least square means +/- SE. RESULTS Values at time-matched points from the two groups were not significantly different so they were combined. Arterial partial pressure of oxygen decreased significantly from 149 +/- 14.4 mmHg before hoisting to 92 +/- 11.6 mmHg after hoisting (p = 0.0013). The PaO(2)/FIO(2) ratio decreased from 275 +/- 30 to 175 +/- 24 (p = 0.0055). End-tidal carbon dioxide decreased significantly from 48.7 +/- 1.6 to 44.5 +/- 1.2 mmHg (p = 0.021). Arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide, blood pressures and heart rates measured 5 minutes after hoisting were not different from measurements obtained before hoisting. CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Hoisting decreased PaO(2) in anesthetized healthy foals. Administration of supplemental oxygen is recommended to counter the decrease in oxygenation and PaO(2) measurement is necessary to detect early changes.

Abstract
Atelectasis occurs in most patients during general anesthesia and is the main cause of hypoxemia. The objective of this review is to examine the causes and diagnosis of atelectasis and the different strategies for reducing or preventing this complication and improving oxygenation. Pulmonary atelectasis is mainly caused by 3 factors: compression, gas absorption, and lack of surfactant. Compression and gas absorption are, however, the 2 most commonly implicated factors. Lung collapse is accentuated if pure oxygen is inhaled during induction or if the patient is morbidly obese. Laparoscopic, thoracic, and upper abdominal interventions also carry risk of lung collapse. Various techniques may be used to prevent atelectasis or to reopen collapsed lung tissue. These include using positive end-expiratory pressure or a high tidal volume-thus providing a higher airway pressure (vital capacity maneuver)-or both in combination. Alveolar recruitment strategies have been tried in bariatric surgery, single-lung ventilation, laparoscopy, and adult respiratory distress syndrome. Their application has reduced or prevented atelectasis, thereby reducing postoperative pulmonary complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We investigated whether reversal of intraoperative atelectasis with the lung recruitment maneuver (RM) affects desflurane arterial concentrations during bariatric surgery. METHODS After anesthetic induction and maintenance with propofol, patients were randomized to receive alveolar RM at intervals (RM group) or not (controls). Desflurane 6% was initiated, and rate of increase of alveolar desflurane concentration (ratio of end-expiratory to inspiratory concentrations, F(A)/F(I)) and desflurane blood concentrations were measured in both groups. Blood and end-tidal desflurane concentrations were also measured after the discontinuation of anesthesia. RESULTS The RM group had higher intraoperative Pao(2)/Fio(2) compared with the control group (both, P < 0.001). During induction, the rate of increase in blood desflurane concentrations was rapid in both groups. At comparable mechanical ventilation settings, median times to achieve 0.5 mM (approximately 3%) were 2.1 and 1.59 min (P = 0.09) in the control and RM group, respectively. The times to achieve 0.7 mM (approximately 4.2%) desflurane were 15.9 and 9.3 min in the control and RM group, respectively (P = 0.08). Desflurane blood concentrations tended to be higher during the first 30 min after induction in the RM group (P = 0.066). During maintenance or emergence, the blood desflurane concentrations were not different between control and RM groups. Consequently, the time to eye opening did not differ between groups. CONCLUSION Although the RM during bariatric surgery represents an effective method for improving intraoperative oxygenation, it does not significantly affect the desflurane blood concentrations during anesthesia or its elimination during emergence.

Abstract
Physiologic events in the last few weeks of pregnancy coupled with the onset of spontaneous labor are accompanied by changes in the hormonal milieu of the fetus and its mother, resulting in preparation of the fetus for neonatal transition. Rapid clearance of fetal lung fluid is a key part of these changes, and is mediated in large part by transepithelial sodium reabsorption through amiloride-sensitive sodium channels in the alveolar epithelial cells, with only a limited contribution from mechanical factors and Starling forces. This article discusses the respiratory morbidity associated with elective cesarean section, the physiologic mechanisms underlying fetal lung fluid absorption, and potential strategies for facilitating neonatal transition when infants are delivered by elective cesarean section before the onset of spontaneous labor.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To determine whether low tidal ventilation in patients without lung injury results in an increase in the amount of atelectasis and a further impairment of gas exchange during general anesthesia. DESIGN Randomized, single-blind study. SETTING University hospital. PATIENTS 16 adult, ASA physical status I and II patients, who were scheduled for elective excision of intracranial lesion. INTERVENTIONS Patients were randomly allocated to one of two groups: traditional tidal volume (V(T)) ventilation group (V(T), 10 mL/kg) and low V(T) ventilation group (V(T), 6 mL/kg) after the first computed tomographic (CT) scan. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Atelectasis, as determined by CT and arterial blood gas analysis, was measured before induction, after tracheal intubation, and at the end of operation. After tracheal intubation, CT scan showed atelectasis in both groups. The mean atelectasis area was 4.25 +/- 2.05 cm(2) (3.32% +/- 1.94%) in the traditional V(T) ventilation group and 5.56 +/- 3.21 cm(2) (4.19% +/- 2.31%) in the low V(T) ventilation group. At the end of operation, there was no significant increase in the amount of atelectasis within the two groups. Arterial blood gas analysis showed no differences after tracheal intubation or at the end of operation in either group. CONCLUSION Ventilation using low V(T)s does not cause more pulmonary collapse than mechanical ventilation using standard V(T)s.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigatge right-to-left shunt determination in dog lungs under inhalantion anesthesia with non-rebreathing and rebreathing systems and fraction of inspired oxygen (F I O2) of 0.9 and 0.4, respectively. METHODS Two groups of 10 dogs each under inhalation anesthesia with sevoflurane: GI in which it was utilized non-rebreathing semiclosed system and F I O2 = 0.9, and GII in which it was utilized rebreathing semiclosed system and F I O2 = 0.4. The study parameters were: heart rate, medium arterial pressure, right-to-left intrapulmonary shunt, hematocrit, hemoglobin, arterial partial pressure of oxygen, mixed venous partial pressure of oxygen, mixed venous oxygen saturation, arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide, partial pressure of water in the alveoli. RESULTS Shunt results were significantly different between the two groups - GI data were higher than GII in all the evaluated moments. Hence, the group with nonrebreathing (GI) developed a superior grade of intrapulmonary shunt when compared with the rebreathing group (GII). The partial pressure of water in the alveoli was significantly higher in GII. CONCLUSION The inhalation anesthesia with non-rebreathing system and F I O2 = 0.9 developed a higher grade of intrapulmonary right-to-left shunt when compared with the rebreathing system and F I O2 = 0.4. The higher humidity in GII contributed to the result.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Arterial oxygenation may be compromised in morbidly obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a vital capacity manoeuvre (VCM), followed by ventilation with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), on arterial oxygenation in morbidly obese patients undergoing open bariatric surgery. METHODS Fifty-two morbidly obese patients (body mass index >40 kg m-2) undergoing open bariatric surgery were enrolled in this prospective and randomized study. Anaesthesia and surgical techniques were standardized. Patients were ventilated with a tidal volume of 10 mL kg-1 of ideal body weight, a mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide (FiO2 = 40%) and respiratory rate was adjusted to maintain end-tidal carbon dioxide at a level of 30-35 mmHg. After abdominal opening, patients in Group 1 had a PEEP of 8 cm H2O applied and patients in Group 2 had a VCM followed by PEEP of 8 cm H2O. This manoeuvre was defined as lung inflation by a positive inspiratory pressure of 40 cm H2O maintained for 15 s. PEEP was maintained until extubation in the two groups. Haemodynamics, ventilatory and arterial oxygenation parameters were measured at the following times: T0 = before application of VCM and/or PEEP, T1 = 5 min after VCM and/or PEEP and T2 = before abdominal closure. RESULTS Patients in the two groups were comparable regarding patient characteristics, surgical, haemodynamic and ventilatory parameters. In Group 1, arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2) and arterial haemoglobin oxygen saturation (SaO2) were significantly increased and alveolar-arterial oxygen pressure gradient (A-aDO2) decreased at T2 when compared with T0 and T1. In Group 2, PaO2 and SaO2 were significantly increased and A-aDO2 decreased at T1 and T2 when compared with T0. Arterial oxygenation parameters at T1 and T2 were significantly improved in Group 2 when compared with Group 1. CONCLUSION The addition of VCM to PEEP improves intraoperative arterial oxygenation in morbidly obese patients undergoing open bariatric surgery.

Abstract
One of the biggest challenges a newborn faces after birth is the task of making a smooth transition to air breathing. This task is complicated by the fact that fetal lungs are full of fluid which must be cleared rapidly to allow for gas exchange. Respiratory morbidity as a result of failure to clear fetal lung fluid is not uncommon, and can be particularly problematic in some infants delivered by elective cesarean delivery (ECS). Given the high rates of cesarean deliveries in the USA and worldwide, the public health and economic impact of morbidity in this subgroup is considerable. Whereas the occurrence of birth asphyxia, trauma, and meconium aspiration is reduced by elective Cesarean delivery, the risk of respiratory distress secondary to transient tachypnea of the newborn, surfactant deficiency, and pulmonary hypertension is increased. It is clear that physiologic events in the last few weeks of pregnancy coupled with the onset of spontaneous labor are accompanied by changes in the hormonal milieu of the fetus and its mother, resulting in preparation of the fetus for neonatal transition. Rapid clearance of fetal lung fluid is a key part of these changes, and is mediated in large part by transepithelial Na reabsorption through amiloride-sensitive Na channels in the alveolar epithelial cells, with only a limited contribution from mechanical factors and Starling forces. This chapter discusses the physiologic mechanisms underlying fetal lung fluid absorption and explores potential strategies for facilitating neonatal transition when infants are delivered by ECS before the onset of spontaneous labor.

Abstract
Surgical site infections are among the most common serious perioperative complications. Infections are established during a decisive period that lasts a few hours after contamination. Adequacy of host immune defenses is the primary factor that determines whether inevitably wound contamination progresses into a clinical infection. As it turns out, many determinants of infection risk are under the direct control of anesthesiologists; factors that are at least as important as prophylactic antibiotics. Major outcome studies demonstrate that the risk of surgical wound infection is reduced threefold simply by keeping patients normothermic. Infection risk is reduced by an additional factor of two by if supplemental oxygen is provided (80% versus 30%) during surgery and for the initial hours after surgery. The contribution, if any, of other factors including, tight glucose control, fluid management, and mild hypercapnia have yet to be suitably tested.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atelectasis may occur and ventilation-perfusion mismatch may increase during general anaesthesia with neuromuscular paralysis and mechanical ventilation, though preservation of some intermittent muscle contraction might mitigate this process. There is still no ideal manoeuvre to minimize such mismatch or atelectasis. Bi-level positive airway pressure (BiPAP) ventilation adjusts to extra breaths and improves gas exchange during recovery of diaphragm function after neuromuscular paralysis. We hypothesize that BiPAP ventilation may limit the development of pulmonary shunt and may improve ventilation-perfusion mismatch when compared with standard IPPV, with or without PEEP when neuromuscular paralysis has been used during surgery. METHODS Twenty ventilated patients either on BiPAP or IPPV with or without PEEP were studied randomly using the multiple inert gas elimination technique (MIGET) at 60 and 120 min after rocuronium at induction and after 60 min. Non-invasive cardiac output (NICO) monitoring and plasma concentrations of rocuronium were measured. We compared the data of MIGET, gas exchange, haemodynamic variables and pulmonary mechanics measurements between the different ventilatory modes. RESULTS Intrapulmonary shunt (blood flow to V(A)/Q < 0.005) did not increase at 60 min of anaesthesia in any of the different ventilation modes compared with the shunt value before anaesthesia. Log standard deviation of perfusion increased in IPPV, with and without PEEP groups, compared with the baseline (P< 0.05) but did not increase in the BiPAP group. BiPAP ventilation generated a higher level of Pa(O2)than IPPV with or without PEEP (P<0.05). CONCLUSION BiPAP ventilation was beneficial in decreasing ventilation-perfusion mismatch and improving oxygenation when compared with conventional IPPV (with or without PEEP).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was designed to assess the use of 100% oxygen or 50% oxygen in air or nitrous oxide after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on atelectasis, as evidenced by the oxygenation index (PaO2/F(I)O2), after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. DESIGN Prospective, randomized clinical study. SETTING University teaching hospital. PARTICIPANT Thirty-six adult patients undergoing CABG surgery. INTERVENTIONS Patients either received 50% O2 in air (50% O2 group), 50% O2 in N2O (50% N2O group), or 100% O2 (100% O2 group) after CPB. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Apart from demographic and perioperative clinical data, extubation time, mediastinal drainage, and pulmonary complications were also recorded. After CPB, arterial blood gases done at various time points until 3 hours postextubation and oxygenation index were calculated. No significant differences were noted in demographic and perioperative data except preoperative hemoglobin and fluid use. Significant deterioration in arterial oxygenation was noted in the 100% O2 group from the baseline value, whereas significant improvement was seen in the 50% O2 group at 4 time points from baseline value and at all time points from the 100% O2 group. After initial deterioration in oxygenation, no further change was evident in the 50% N2O group. Furthermore, there was a greater increase in the oxygenation index as compared with the 100% O2 group. Time to extubation was also longer in the 100% O2 group than the 50% O2 group. CONCLUSION Significant deterioration in arterial oxygenation and an increase in the extubation time occurred with the use of 100% O2 after CPB, whereas better oxygenation was evident with the use of 50% O2 in air.

Abstract
Abnormalities in gas exchange that occur during anesthesia are mostly caused by atelectasis, and these alterations are more pronounced in morbidly obese than in normal weight subjects. Sustained lung insufflation is capable of recruiting the collapsed areas and improving oxygenation in healthy patients of normal weight. We tested the effect of this ventilatory strategy on arterial oxygenation (Pao2) in patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery. After pneumoperitoneum was accomplished, the recruitment group received up to 4 sustained lung inflations with peak inspiratory pressures up to 50 cm H2O, which was followed by ventilation with 12 cm H2O positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). The patient's lungs in the control group were ventilated in a standard fashion with PEEP of 4 cm H2O. Variables related to gas exchange, respiratory mechanics, and hemodynamics were compared between recruitment and control groups. We found that alveolar recruitment effectively increased intraoperative Pao2 and temporarily increased respiratory system dynamic compliance (both P < 0.01). The effects of alveolar recruitment on oxygenation lasted as long as the trachea was intubated, and lungs were ventilated with high PEEP, but soon after tracheal extubation, all the beneficial effects on oxygenation disappeared. The mean number of vasopressor treatments given during surgery was larger in the recruitment group compared with the control group (3.0 versus 0.8; P = 0.04). In conclusion, our data suggest that the use of alveolar recruitment may be an effective mode of improving intraoperative oxygenation in morbidly obese patients. Our results showed the effect to be short lived and associated with more frequent intraoperative use of vasopressors.

Abstract
Physiotherapy is an integral part of the management of patients in respiratory intensive care units (RICUs). The most important aim in this area is to enhance the overall patient's functional capacity and to restore his/her respiratory and physical independence, thus decreasing the risks of bed rest associated complications. This article is a review of evidence-based effectiveness of weaning practices and physiotherapy treatment for patients with respiratory insufficiency in a RICU. Literature searches were performed using general and specialty databases with appropriate keywords. The evidence for applying a weaning process and physiotherapy techniques in these patients has been described according to their individual rationale and efficacy. The growing number of patients treated in RICUs all over the world makes this non pharmacological approach both welcome and interesting. However, to date, there are only strong recommendations concerning the evidence-based strategies to speed weaning. Early physiotherapy may be effective in ICU: however, most techniques (postures, limb exercise and percussion/vibration in particular) need to be further studied in a large population. Evidence supporting physiotherapy intervention is limited as there are no studies examining the specific effects of interventions on long-term outcome.

Abstract
A literature review was conducted to assess the evidence for recruitment manoeuvres used in conventional mechanical positive pressure ventilation. A total of 61 studies on recruitment manoeuvres were identified: 13 experimental, 31 ICU, 6 PICU and 12 anaesthesia studies. Recruitment appears to be a continuous process during inspiration and expiration and is determined by peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) and positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP). Single or repeated recruitment manoeuvres may result in a statistically significant increase in oxygenation; however, this is short lasting and clinically irrelevant, especially in late ARDS and pneumonia. Temporary PIP elevation may be effective but only after PEEP loss (for example disconnection and tracheal suctioning). Continuous PEEP elevation and prone positioning can increase P(a)O2 significantly. Adverse haemodynamic or barotrauma effects are reported in various studies. No data exist on the effect of recruitment manoeuvres on mortality, morbidity, length of stay or duration of mechanical ventilation. Although recruitment manoeuvres can improve oxygenation, they can potentially increase lung injury, which eventually determines outcome. Based on the presently available literature, prone position and sufficient PEEP as part of a lung protective ventilation strategy seem to be the safest and most effective recruitment manoeuvres. As paediatric physiology is essentially different from adult, paediatric studies are needed to determine the role of recruitment manoeuvres in the PICU.

Abstract
Including positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in the manual resuscitation bag (MRB) may render manual hyperinflation (MHI) ineffective as a secretion maneuver technique in mechanically ventilated patients. In this study we aimed to determine the effect of increased PEEP or decreased compliance on peak expiratory flow rate (PEF) during MHI. A blinded, randomized study was performed on a lung simulator by 10 physiotherapists experienced in MHI and intensive care practice. PEEP levels of 0-15 cm H(2)O, compliance levels of 0.05 and 0.02 L/cm H(2)O, and MRB type were randomized. The Mapleson-C MRB generated significantly higher PEF (P < 0.01, d = 2.72) when compared with the Laerdal MRB for all levels of PEEP. In normal compliance (0.05 L/cm H(2)O) there was a significant decrease in PEF (P < 0.01, d = 1.45) for a PEEP more than 10 cm H(2)O in the Mapleson-C circuit. The Laerdal MRB at PEEP levels of more than 10 cm H(2)O did not generate a PEF that is theoretically capable of producing two-phase gas-liquid flow and, consequently, mobilizing pulmonary secretions. If MHI is indicated as a result of mucous plugging, the Mapleson-C MRB may be the most effective method of secretion mobilization.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess acute cardiorespiratory effects of recruitment manoeuvres in experimental acute lung injury. DESIGN Experimental study in animal models of acute lung injury. SETTING Experimental laboratory at a University Medical Centre. ANIMALS Ten pigs with bronchoalveolar lavage and eight pigs with endotoxin-induced ALI. INTERVENTIONS Two kinds of recruitment manoeuvres during 1 min; a) vital capacity manoeuvres (ViCM) consisting in a sustained inflation at 30 cmH(2)O and 40 cmH(2)O; b) manoeuvres obtained during ongoing pressure-controlled ventilation (PCRM) with peak airway pressure 30 cmH(2)O, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) 15 and peak airway pressure 40, PEEP 20. Recruitment manoeuvres were repeated after volume expansion (dextran 8 ml/kg). Oxygenation, mean arterial, and pulmonary artery pressures, aortic, mesenteric, and renal blood flow were monitored. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS Lower pressure recruitment manoeuvres (ViCM30 and PCRM30/15) did not significantly improve oxygenation. With ViCM and PCRM at peak airway pressure 40 cmH(2)O, PaO(2) increased to similar levels in both lavage and endotoxin groups. Aortic blood flow was reduced from baseline during PCRM40/20 and ViCM40 by 57+/-3% and 61+/-6% in the lavage group and by 57+/-8% and 82+/-7% (P<0.05 vs PCRM40/20) in endotoxin group. The decrease in blood pressure was less pronounced. Prior volume expansion attenuated circulatory impairment. After cessation of recruitment hemodynamic parameters were restored within 3 min. CONCLUSION Effective recruitment resulted in systemic hypotension, pulmonary hypertension, and decrease in aortic blood flow especially in endotoxinemic animals. Circulatory depression may be attenuated using recruitment manoeuvres during ongoing pressure-controlled ventilation and by prior volume expansion.

Abstract
During preoperative assessment, risk factors of upper airway obstruction should be evaluated: respiratory insufficiency, low O(2) reserve, preoxygenation failure or difficult face mask ventilation. In healthy subjects, spontaneous breathing O(2) for 3 min is the reference method. Apnoea duration is longer after preoxygenation than after denitrogenation, even if FEO(2) and SpO(2) do not change during the two last minutes of preoxygenation. The apnea time is longer after 3 min spontaneous breathing than after four deep breaths for 1 min in most of the literature. Maximal breathing during 2 min can produce values comparable to those obtained with tidal volume breathing for 3 min. FEO(2) monitoring is helpful in the assessment of preoxygenation quality: In case of oxygenation impairment during anaesthesia induction, algorithm use is helpful. Because desperate emergencies will occur in association with anaesthesia, every location should have the immediate availability of Fastrach and trans tracheal ventilation. Every anaesthesiologist should be familiar with and well practised in a variety of airway management techniques. Teaching programs are organised in order to develop anaesthesiologist sensitisation and skill.

Abstract
This prospective randomized controlled trial examined the effect of an "alveolar recruitment strategy" (ARS) in healthy patients having laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Twenty-four consecutive ASA 1 or 2 patients were randomly allocated to an ARS or control group. All patients were manually ventilated to a maximal airway pressure of 25 to 30 cmH2O or a tidal volume of 10 ml/kg during induction of general anaesthesia. After intubation, the control group was ventilated with standardized mechanical ventilation settings. The ARS group was manually ventilated to an airway pressure of 40 cmH2O for 10 breaths over one minute, followed by mechanical ventilation with similar standardized settings plus 5 cmH2O positive end-expiratory pressure. Blood pressure, heart rate, arterial oxygen and carbon dioxide tension (PaO2 and PaCO2) was measured pre-induction, 20 minutes post induction but before abdominal insufflation, 20 minutes after abdominal insufflation, and 20 minutes after arrival in the recovery room. Demographic and operation data were similar. The ARS group pre-insufflation PaO2 [30.16 (9.43)] was higher than the control group [22.19 (9.08)] (P = 0.047). There was a significant difference in PaO2 between the ARS [23.94 (4.87)] and control [17.26 (3.93)] groups during the post-insufflation period (P = 0.001). There were no significant differences in PaO2 between the groups during baseline and recovery periods. No adverse effects were reported. ARS improved arterial oxygenation intraoperatively in healthy patients having laparoscopic cholecystectomy, without clinical cardiovascular compromise or respiratory complication. We conclude that this alveolar recruitment strategy is a useful method of increasing arterial oxygenation.
